I suppose that's the musical equivalent of a 'cult' film :) I'm not sure about never being too old (I wouldn't take my 90+ parents along) but I'm certainly not going to settle for slippers and early bedtimes quite yet.maryomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18265044617480788043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6136329803707061541.post-3567934945779585662017-03-29T16:29:14.572+01:002017-03-29T16:29:14.572+01:00Ha ha.

Noisy? yes, but I've been to louder and more deafening gigs in smaller venues (after one couldn't hear properly for a week and I believe I'd damagirt incident :) )ed an eardrum!) No one jumped on my toes - though someone thought they could dance with a full pint glass, and that got splashed down my shirt! Pick-pockets? I have a pair of thin trousers with zip-up pockets - I bought them for hiking but I'm decided they're better suited to gigs! I loved every minute of it, and can't wait to be off out again.

I know of a couple of festivals - Splendour in Nottingham, and Curious Arts in Hampshire - which are very much family events, but then you probably don't get the bands you want or the younger part of the audience is expected to happily watch someone from CBBC (though I struck lucky with Curious Arts last year, seeing Skinny Lister and Billy Bragg) It's one of the few times when you want children to hurry and grow up!maryomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18265044617480788043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6136329803707061541.post-82783912134772465522017-03-29T15:06:00.506+01:002017-03-29T15:06:00.506+01:00I want to ask lots of old mother questions like &q...I want to ask lots of old mother questions like "was it terribly noisy?" and "did anyone jump on your toes?" and "were you worried about pick-pockets?" but don't feel you need to answer - really I just would like a chance to go out to a gig again too! #TeensTweensBeyondJanet Thttp://falcondalelife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6136329803707061541.post-74363401011830172932017-03-29T10:17:46.267+01:002017-03-29T10:17:46.267+01:00Can't beat proper live music :)
